Passive Voice Analysis
The original sentence is: "Was the conclusion reached by the jury after reviewing all the evidence?"
- Subject (in passive): The conclusion
- Verb (passive): Was reached (Past Simple Passive)
- Agent (doer): The jury
Active Voice Conversion Steps
- Identify the agent in the passive sentence ("the jury") and make it the subject of the active sentence.
- Change the passive verb ("was reached") to its active form. The passive "was reached" (Past Simple Passive) corresponds to the active Past Simple verb "reached".
- Make the passive subject ("the conclusion") the object of the active sentence.
- Since the original sentence is a question, use the appropriate auxiliary verb for the active tense. For Past Simple active voice questions, the auxiliary verb is "Did". Place "Did" at the beginning.
- The base form of the main verb ("reach") follows the auxiliary "Did".
- Combine the elements: auxiliary verb + subject + base verb + object + remaining phrases.
Applying these steps:
- Agent becomes subject: the jury
- Verb changes: reached (active past simple)
- Passive subject becomes object: the conclusion
- Auxiliary verb for question: Did
- Base verb: reach
- Remaining phrase: after reviewing all the evidence?
Assembling the active voice question: "Did the jury reach the conclusion after reviewing all the evidence?"
